I plan to use samba to substitute two NT4 server (PDC/BDC) howewer I am not sure if it would fit: I have not been able to find either in the samba 3.0 and samba-tng documentation the following informations: 1. Can I have three different serever on which putting the home directories of the users (of course this would be set in their profiles) ? logon_home parameter seem to forbide this ... 2.

I'm using a rather strange config, borne out of neccessity rather than choice at home. My internet 'router' is a Win2000 Pro box running Winroute, and my three Linux boxen (running 7.2/8.0/9.0 RH) are networked thru to the Win box using SNAT on the box I work on (don't ask why - it's just pratical, and I can't afford a hub/switch to do this). In any case, it's a

A question, althought it is not strictly samba pertinent: I have some Win2k server that offers dial-in to local users. Today all stopped working, but the ones using linux ... However these are not sufficient, so i ask here [since it is probable many people have win2k hosts around) - how to , logging in the win2k server with ssh, restart RAS ? Of couse i can use only CLI programs ... at woest ...

I used to upgrade samba3 to samba4 with almost successful with one problem, administrator can't access. As administrator, by default it is the only user account that is given full control over the system. My query is how to change the administrator password? we have one account which can join to the samba 4 AD based on the migrated data but the problem can't change the administrator or

Hi list, I have a couple of questions regarding Samba being a Domain Member of a Samba PDC and BDC. Situation: 3 servers, running Solaris 9 and Samba 3.0.7. The Solaris machines are LDAP clients (getpwent fetches info from LDAP). The Samba domain is called 'ALW'. Machine 1: PDC + LDAP master (PDC1) Machine 2: BDC + LDAP slave (BDC1) Machine 3: Domain Member server (FS1) A

Hello, I found an interesting thing that I don't know if it is a bug, by design or I need to be doing something that I'm not but here goes. My system RedHat 8.0 (1) PDC with LDAP 2.1.23 backend master, (3) BDC with LDAP slave backend. All are Samba 3.0.

Thank you for answering. I am testing Samba 3.0.1Pre1 on RH9 . MS Word 97 keeps opening already opened files without sending any warning as it would normally do when accessing W2K servers. Same program , same files behave differently with Samba and W2K. However, I found that Powerpoint is nevertheless able to sense correctly the situation by always giving such warnings - " test.ppt is

Hi all, I'm trying to mygrate my NT4 PDC to a Samba v3rc2 PDC. Everything worked well during accounts migration (vampire). I'm now trying to back-up the shares (homes, profiles, netlogon), in order to fully migrate the accounts. Unfortunately, I'm facing a stupid problem : each home directory (or profile directory) can only be read from its creator, NOT from the Administrator of the

Hello All, I am using Samba + LDAP PDC with all latest updates & versions. I have been using SRVTOOLS.exe to manage the domain in the past because my work mates can use that without needing root access to the server itself. It stopped working some time ago, and it was not bbecause of an update either, I don't know what went wrong or understand this error. When I open USRMGR I get the

Hi samba list, I'm using samba 3(.0.13) with OpenLDAP and I have a strange problem: the variables %U and %G don't seem to be replaced by their values. I get nothing in my logs, so I don't know where is the problem... In fact, in my smb.conf, I have something like: logon home = logon path = \\server\profiles\prof.%G logon drive = h: The profiles are loaded if I use logon

Hi everyone, When i add someone to a group using smbldap-usermod -G +(groupname) (username) it does not add the user to the group in the ldap backend: smbldap-groupshow (groupname) | grep memberUid The new member is not there! I have to mannualy add it to the user to the groups again. This is the expected behavior or i'm missing something? -- Leonardo Carneiro

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but figured this might be a good question to pose to the list before I go off re-inventing the wheel again... Has anyone, or does anyone know of, a way to directly mount or utilize and iso image file as a filesystem? I'd like to use samba to create a series of shares based on ISO images; assuming one can mount an ISO image file one could in theory serve windows

Since I get so much from this list I thought I would share a project I've been working on and how it works with samba (3.0.1). It is Samba related so I hope it's not off topic. I've set up a HA solution with redundant Samba Domain Controllers throuth the "Heartbeat" package at: http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/heartbeat/1.1.3/redhat_9/ I have two "Redhat

How long does one have to typically wait for an answer to a post? Tomorrow my message will have been up a week, and I've gotten no replies. It was about whether a file, while it was being written to, could subsequently be opened by another client for reading. I used a DVR with chasing play as an example. Didn't seem like that difficult of a question, but maybe it isn't geeky

Hi I set up a samba 4.1.4 server on the latest FreeBSD RELEASE 10. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to consider the option force group. After hours ofresearch I couldn't figure out what I'm still missing. unix extensions is set to no.

Hello, I've a Samba 3.0.23c-SerNet-Debian PDC (no BDC or anything) connected to OpenLDAP. I thought it would work smoothly, I didn't discover any problems until today.

To eleminate a poledit problem I used the security tab (in german

Hi all, I have this question, I ve got a master LDAP server on a remote place and i want to install a PDC and a BDC and a slave ldap server in other place.
